The Chicago Sun-Times on Technology and
Libraries (and, um, Me)

The Chicago Sun-Times on Technology and
Libraries (and, um, Me) 01/07/2004 04:52 PM

Steven M. Cohen just IMed that the Sun-Times article about technology in libraries is out. Note: ST articles are usually available online for free for one week.

Wo man Key in Bringing Tech to Libraries in Suburbs

"Hard-core Web searchers can scour databases free, check out an MP3 audio book or sign up for e-mail news alerts, courtesy of tech-enabled libraries in Chicago's suburbs.....

If you haven't owned a library card in years, you're in for a surprise. Libraries fortunate to have tech resources, such as ones in DuPage County and members of the Heritage Trail Library System, allow checkout of MP3 players programmed with audio books.

Library users can listen to best-selling fiction and non-fiction books from Audible.com, a digital audio publisher, on a single player....

Levine hopes Weblogs will help libraries get their information out to the public in a timely and efficient way."

I can't say too much about it because I figure my 15 bytes of fame are officially up now. It was a difficult interview for me and a difficult article for the columnist because we threw a lot of different subjects into a short amount of space: the newly-launched ListenIllinois site, remote database access for patrons, blogging, RSS, and even a quick reference to the Open WorldCat project. None of it gets covered in any depth, but it's a start.

There's a nice picture in the print edition of me holding an Audible Otis player. I'll try to scan a copy today. I don't technically own a copy yet, because when I walked to the end of our street in sub zero wind chills where sits a Sun-Times news box, I deposited my money only to find that there were only two copies therein. One was from December 30, one was from December 31. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don't do print.

Luckily, Gloria gets the ST at home and she brought it in. I'll try to scan it in later today but in the meantime, you can see the picture Aaron took of the event with my Treo 600.

Netherlands Bound - Ticer Course on
Digital Libraries!

Netherlands Bound - Ticer Course on
Digital Libraries! 04/11/2005 08:28 AM

I’m thrilled to be included as a presenter in this year’s International Ticer School at Tilburg University in the Netherlands this coming August, even more so after I saw the list of other speakers! Here’s the press release:

“The International Ticer School (known for its former International Summer School on the Digital Library) offers a brand new, modular course for librarians and publishers: ‘Digital Libraries à la Carte: Choices for the Future,’ to be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, 22-26 August
2005.

From its 'menu' of five one-day modules, you can pick your choice:

• trends and strategic issues
• technological developments, relevant to libraries
• consortia and licensing
• open Access and institutional repositories
• the role of libraries in teaching and learning

Top speakers will present their views. Below is a selection.

• Marissa Mayer is Director, Consumer Web Products at Google
• Derk Haank is CEO of Springer and former CEO of Elsevier
• Peter Suber and Richard Poynder are among the most cited authors on Open Access
• Jenny Levine's blog (theshiftedlibrarian.com) is read by thousands of librarians
• Carol Tenopir has published over 200 journal articles and is cited frequently
• Deb deBruijn closed the worldwide biggest consortium deal (over 50 million dollar)
• Gerry McKiernan is the compiler of several known Web registries
• Steven Gilbert is president of The TLT Group and an expert on learning landscapes
• Pat Maughan transforms the undergraduate curriculum at the prestigious UC Berkeley to include information literacy training

To guarantee a highly interactive programme, the number of participants is limited to 45 per module, lectures contain an interactive component, and two
modules are concluded with a practical workshop. The course is recommended by JISC, the DARE project and SURF Diensten.

The course website can be found at www.ticer.nl/05carte/. If you register before 1 June 2005, we can offer you a discount. Do you want a quick update in just one to five days? Then Tilburg is the place to be this summer!”

Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? There’s more information on the web site (including full descriptions of each module), so if you can attend, I highly encourage it!

DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries
http://www.delos.info/

The DELOS network intends to conduct a joint program of activities aimed at integrating and coordinating the ongoing research activities of the major European teams working in Digital Library - related areas with the goal of developing the next generation Digital Library technologies. The objective is to: a) define unifying and comprehensive theories and frameworks over the life-cycle of Digital Library information,and b) build interoperable multimodal/multilingual services and integrated content management ranging from the personal to the global for the specialist and the general population. The Network aims at developing generic Digital Library technology to be incorporated into industrial-strength Digital Library Management Systems (DLMSs), offering advanced functionality through reliable and extensible services. The Network will also disseminate knowledge of Digital Library technologies to many diverse application domains. To this end a Virtual Digital Library Competence Centre has been established which provides specific user communities with access to advanced Digital Library technologies, services, testbeds, and the necessary expertise and knowledge to facilitate their take-up.

New Year's Technology Resolutions for
Public Libraries

New Year's Technology Resolutions for
Public Libraries 01/06/2004 03:21 AM

For 2004:

1. Start a blog for your web site, and concentrate most of your news there. If possible, put the blog posts on your home page (either make it a blog or display headlines using RSS) so that your new information gets maximum exposure. I'm not just hyping blogs - it truly will make it easier for you to keep your site more current and dynamic, and there are ways to do this at no additional cost.
    
2. Provide remote access to as many of your databases as possible, preferably using the patron's library barcode number as the autho key rather than some inane autho/password combination required by the vendor. A standing offer for SLS libraries: we'll implement scripts to help you with this - just email me.
    
3. Start investigating wireless networks because you need to offer wireless access for the public to use with their own devices. Even if you don't think you will implement it this year, you need to understand what's involved because you will offer it at some point in the future and it's best to be prepared when that time comes. I know some people will argue that not all public libraries need to offer this service, or at least not any time soon, but you can only make an informed decision if you understand what's involved.

   Example: a couple of weeks ago I was interviewed for a forthcoming article in the Chicago Sun-Times about technology in libraries. The paper sent a photographer to get a picture of me for the article, and we met at the Thomas Ford Memorial Library to do this. The photographer was a gadget guy, so he was particularly interested in hearing about ListenIllinois and wireless access. He was thrilled to learn that the TFML offered free WiFi, and he was even knowledgeable enough to ask why there were no signs highlighting the service, specifically any warchalking symbols. In fact, he said he was willing to sit in his car in the parking lot when the Library is closed to use it because it would save him a trip downtown. TFML isn't his home library, but it hadn't occurred to him to go to public libraries for this service instead of Starbucks. Now, he'll try us first and Starbucks second.

   Is this guy on the leading edge of the bell curve? Sure. But that just means that the larger number of people that make up the camel's hump of the bell curve are on the horizon. You don't have to provide wireless access today (although you really will have patrons that use it, just like TFML does, even without any marketing), but you do need to start thinking about it.

4. In the same vein, you need to start thinking about online, real-time reference. In Illinois, there are consortia you can join to make the strain on your resources easier, and this is increasingly true in other states as well. Insta nt messaging and chatting are moving beyond Generation Y and are becoming a norm, making this a valid channel for library reference here and now. To again use the Thomas Ford Library as an example (I like using them because they are a relatively small library surrounded by larger libraries), while I was waiting for the photographer to show up, Rick was "on" the virtual reference desk for MyWebLibrarian, and he received two help requests within about a half hour. This was a little before lunchtime on a weekday when school was out of session.

   Again, think bell curve. You don't have to implement it tomorrow, but you do have to understand what your options are, even if you just throw up an AOL Instant Messenger link for specific hours each week, just to get your feet wet. (In fact, this is exactly what TFML did before they joined MWL.)

If your library is already doing all of these things, congratulations! Of course, you can't rest on your laurels, but those would be resolutions for another day....

Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
(JCDL), 2005

Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
(JCDL), 2005 03/24/2005 05:27 AM
Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL), 2005
http://www.jcdl2005.org/

The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. The theme of JCDL 2005 highlights the powerful role of digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. This cyberinfrastructure has the potential to engender the creation of new tools, research methodologies, and processes that will enable scientists and learners to investigate the natural world, the social world, and the human-built environment in new and previously unimaginable ways. As global interests in computation, information management, networking, and intelligent sensing converge, the conduct of research and education will be transformed. They welcome researchers and practitioners with broad and diverse interests including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of disciplines and professions involved in digital library research and practice, including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, medicine, social sciences, and humanities. All domains - academe, government, industry, and others - are encouraged to participate as presenters or attendees. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Out of the Digital Future 06/07/2004 11:54 PM

RIAA Wants Your Fingerprints

" Not content with asking for an arm and a leg from consumers and artists, the music industry now wants your fingerprints, too. The RIAA is hoping that a new breed of music player which requires biometric authentication will put an end to file sharing.

Established biometric vendor Veritouch has teamed up with Swedish design company to produce iVue: a wireless media player that allows content producers to lock down media files with biometric security. This week Veritouch announced that it had demonstrated the device to the RIAA and MPAA.

'In practical terms, VeriTouch's breakthrough in anti-piracy technology means that no delivered content to a customer may be copied, shared or otherwise distributed because each file is uniquely locked by the customer's live fingerprint scan," claims the company." [The Register]

How the hell is a library supposed to circulate these files? Does anyone still doubt that the record industry would love to shut libraries out of circulating digital music files?
